Once you complete any downloadable purchase at Logos.com, your resources should be unlocked automatically. Just open Logos and wait for the download to begin.

When the download begins, you will receive a notification at the top of the application and from the Logos Indexer in your system tray (by the computer's clock).

Download times will vary based on internet speed and the total size of the download. If the download is interrupted, Logos should install whatever completed. It will then restart the process, downloading the remaining resources the next time it is opened.

After Downloading

After the download completes, you will be prompted to restart Logos. This is necessary to allow new resources to be integrated into your Library.
